Both concerts are available for the first time on CD, in digitally remastered sound, with 23 previously unreleased tracks thrown in to sweeten the pot.

Her record sales throughout the '90s have grown to rival those of Elvis and the Beatles, and to many ears the Mariah sound has grown indistinguishable from the endless cosmetics aisles and multiplexes of our postmodern world.

A puzzling proverb requires thoughtful contemplation before its meaning becomes clear. Take Proverb 26:23, for example: "Like thick glaze on a cheap pot, ardent lips and an evil heart." "The thick glaze [of the pot] deceives the eyes," Kugel elegantly summarizes, "but underneath is crumbling clay." Similarly, "however much the lips of a flatterer or hypocrite may say pleasing things, underneath them is an evil schemer...
